A seated man in a rust-orange turban and orange-brown robes sits on an ornate silver-and-red throne with a carved sun motif, holding a silver-topped staff and wearing a crescent-moon ornament on his long dreadlocked hair. A headset microphone is at his face. Beside him, a woman in bright yellow-orange clothing and a gold pendant smiles and leans in. Audience members, some with raised hands, fill the foreground and a white draped backdrop sits behind. Swamiji (probable): the orange turban, crescent ornament, long locks and saffron robes on a throne suggest the speaker at a discourse.
